Wild Justice

After Brock moved in next door six months ago, the robberies began: lawn mowers, barbeques, and checks from mailboxes. The tranquility of our tree-lined neighborhood was further shattered when the car break-ins started three months ago. Yesterday, someone broke into my daughter Jayna's car and stole her new laptop.
She was furious.
After an angry exchange, Brock slapped her.
When I found out, I vowed that if he ever touched my daughter again, I'd kill him.
